14th Company.—A white falcon with extended wings, perched on the barrel of a closed golden fetterlock. Edward IV., in addition to the device of the white rose which was taken from the Earl of March, selected this white falcon from the badge of his grandfather, the first Duke of York. 15th Company.—A red rose with green stalks and leaves (Fig. 18). 16th Company.—A white swan, gorged with a ducal crown and chain, on a green mount. It may be remembered that Humphrey, Earl of Hereford, used a swan argent, and his daughter, when she married Henry IV., took the same device. 17th Company.—A white falcon, crowned and bearing a sceptre, standing on the stump of a tree out of which is growing a branch bearing three roses, one white and two red. This was Elizabeth’s badge, to remind people that she was descended from both the Houses of York and Lancaster. 18th Company.—A stump of a tree which was the badge of Edward III.; assumed by him to point out how flourishing was his family. 19th Company.—A golden sceptre and sword proper—a device used by the House of Stuart. 20th Company.—A green oak tree on a green mount. In the branches of the tree may be seen the head of Charles II. peeping out. This is an emblem to remind us of his hiding after the Battle of Worcester. 21st Company.—A sun rising behind clouds. This is a badge of Edward the Black Prince, which he assumed when he felt that his princely deeds were on the point of revealing him to the world as a man possessing a glorious future. 22nd Company.—A beacon or cresset with flames. This device was used by Henry V. when he wished to tell people that his deeds would shed a radiance similar to those of the flames of a fire. 23rd Company.—Silver ostrich feathers, crossed. The Lancastrians took this device. 24th Company.—A white hart with golden antlers springing from the gate of a golden triple towered castle. This badge appears to be of Irish origin. 25th Company.—A red cross of St. George, on a silver shield. 26th Company.—The arms of Nassau. A golden lion rampant, crowned, standing near to eight billets on a blue shield. The Counts of Nassau, it will be remembered, were connected by marriage with the English Royal family. 27th Company.—The badge of the Order of the Bath, a device comprising the rose, thistle, shamrock, etc. 28th Company.—Three crests of German origin, emanating from Saxony, Brunswick and Hanover. 29th Company.—A shamrock. 30th Company.—The crest of the Prince Consort, i.e., from out of a ducal Coronet appears a pillar crowned with a coronet from which issues a plume of three peacocks’ feathers. The arms of Saxony are shown on the pillar. =The Coldstream Guards= also have three flags, known as the Colonel’s, the Lieutenant-Colonel’s, and the Major’s colours, which are used as the King’s colour in the first, second, and third battalions respectively.
